Chapter 281: Killing Strike

After leaving the inn, Cui Jing looked around to make sure no one was paying attention to her before she blended into the bustling crowd and vanished.

Along the way, Cui Jing remained cautious, constantly alert to her surroundings.

After taking several different routes, Cui Jing quickly stepped into a modest room.

Inside the room was an old woman.

This person was the Aunt Mei that Cui Jing referred to.

Seeing the cautious Cui Jing enter the room, Aunt Mei couldn’t help but feel puzzled and immediately asked,

"Why the hurry in calling me here?"

This place was a secret meeting spot for both of them, and they usually didn’t meet here.

Just moments ago, she had received a Transmission from Cui Jing asking her to come.

That was the source of her current confusion.

Without hesitation, Cui Jing directly shared her findings with the old woman!

After hearing her, Aunt Mei exclaimed,

"Are you saying that the current Feng Yu is being impersonated by someone else?"

Cui Jing confidently replied,

"Yes, and that person is most likely the one that the Heaven Demon Sect is currently hunting, Ji Yang. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have so much best Demon Spirit Ore."

As she spoke, Cui Jing showed Aunt Mei the storage bag she had just acquired.

After examining it, the old woman nodded,

"It seems there’s about an eighty to ninety percent chance this is the right person."

"In that case, let’s quickly inform the Heaven Demon Sect and receive our reward!"

Aunt Mei quickly suggested, but Cui Jing responded again,

"Aunt Mei, let’s not rush. This person has many valuable things, and since we know his secret, why not capitalize on that? After the alchemy competition is over, we can inform the Heaven Demon Sect. This way, we maximize our profits!"

Aunt Mei fell into thought but hesitated,

"This person is being hunted by the Heaven Demon Sect, so he must have some power. Won’t this be too risky?"

"I considered that too, which is why I called you here. With you here, this person won’t pose any threat!"

Thinking of her Mid Spirit Transformation realm status, the old woman felt much steadier.

Indeed, the older you are, the more cautious you become. After all, he was just a junior; even if he was being hunted by the Heaven Demon Sect, he wouldn’t be her match!

Since there were considerable benefits to be gained, taking some risks was reasonable.

Just as the two of them were happily discussing their plans, a sword energy suddenly sliced into the room from outside.

"Be careful!"

Feeling the danger, Aunt Mei quickly alerted Cui Jing while preparing to summon her magical treasure to defend against this unexpected attack!

However, just as the old woman readied herself, she suddenly felt as if her body had sunk into quicksand, unable to move!

Feeling the impending life-and-death crisis, the old woman decisively abandoned her physical body and allowed her primordial spirit to escape!

Her judgment was correct; once her primordial spirit was out, she could still move freely!

However, seeing her physical body on the verge of destruction filled her with immense anger.

"Who?!"

The old woman’s primordial spirit roared, but before she could see her attacker, a massive hand descended from above and grabbed her primordial spirit.

Panicking, the old woman’s eyes filled with fear as she prepared to use her primordial spirit Secret Technique to escape.

But that giant hand merely squeezed lightly, and her escaping primordial spirit instantly shattered into fragments, without even a scream.

At the moment the primordial spirit was destroyed, the sword energy below cleaved the old woman’s motionless physical body in two.

However, the body, now devoid of its primordial spirit, stood there like a wax statue, showing no significant reaction.

In the blink of an eye, the old woman had met a tragic end before Cui Jing, causing a glimmer of terror to flash in her eyes as she shouted,

"Who are you?!"

Under Cui Jing’s horrified gaze, the primordial spirit above hunched its body and looked down.

Seeing the features of the primordial spirit, Cui Jing’s face paled; she didn’t recognize this person! Yet such a powerful primordial spirit made her lose the courage to run or resist!

"Who are you really?"

As Cui Jing questioned, slow footsteps echoed from outside.

A figure quickly appeared before Cui Jing.

"It’s you, Feng Yu!"

"No, you are not Feng Yu! Ji Yang!"

Looking at the figure, Cui Jing gritted her teeth and said.

The person before her was indeed Ji Yang disguised as Feng Yu!

This explained why the appearance of the primordial spirit was different from that of the physical body, as the primordial spirit often revealed their true appearance.

"Yes, it’s me!"

Ji Yang replied with a smile, and in the next moment, the massive primordial spirit quickly returned to Ji Yang’s body.

Hearing Ji Yang’s response, Cui Jing quickly regained her composure. A cultivator who could easily deal with Aunt Mei was absolutely not her match.

In the next moment, Cui Jing turned to flee!

This was Heaven Demon City; if she could get out, she had a chance to survive!

But clearly, Ji Yang would not give her that opportunity!

Cui Jing had barely taken two steps when she felt a sharp sword energy slicing toward her from behind.

Just as she intended to fight back, that sense of restraint enveloped her once more.

Facing the sword energy that was so near, Cui Jing wanted to summon her Nascent Soul, but remembering the horrific fate of the old woman, she instantly abandoned that thought and exclaimed,

"Let me go! I will tell you the secret of the Seven Star Dan Furnace!"

Ji Yang merely smiled,

"The secret sounds tempting, but I won’t listen!"

With that, the sword energy swiftly struck, cleanly and decisively eliminating Cui Jing, along with her Nascent Soul that had not managed to escape!

Looking at the two corpses on the ground, Ji Yang waved his hand, and three storage bags easily returned to his grasp.

One of the storage bags contained the best Demon Spirit Ore that he had just taken out.

Gazing at the reclaimed Demon Spirit Ore, a cold smile appeared on Ji Yang’s lips.

He detested being threatened!

Earlier at the inn, he pretended to return to his room but secretly used Wandering Spirit Commanding Energy to follow Cui Jing.

Under the influence of the technique, Cui Jing had indeed sensed nothing, allowing Ji Yang to seize the opportunity to rush over during their conversation and eliminate the old woman first.

The fate of Aunt Mei was already sealed when she summoned the fixed-point object!

Without the old woman, Cui Jing was naturally no match for him!

After reclaiming the storage bags, Ji Yang casually threw out two fireballs.

As the fireballs burned, the two bodies quickly turned to ashes.

Once he had dealt with the aftermath, Ji Yang walked slowly toward the door.

Outside, on the street not far away, people were bustling about, and no one noticed the abnormality that had just occurred in the room.

Ji Yang blended into the crowd, swiftly disappearing among the throng.
